Drivers In the Know' On Drive-Drink Rules
USC motorists are hotter informed about drinking and di ning than the average driver, a week-long survey revealed yesterday.
Sponsored by the Daily Trojan and the Greater University Council, the survey was conducted by Doc O'Connor and the AS-SC Student Survey Committee.
More than 140 students from all classes and divisions of the university responded to the questionnaire, which concerned general traffic knowledge, drunk driving and stopping distances.
Seniors and graduates were warier of the drinking questions than freshmen and sophomores.
One of the questions. “How much alcohol do you think a person can drink before it adversely affects his driving?,” was answered with, “It depends on th?
individual,” by a majority of upper division students.
Most freshmen and sophomores said a motorist could drink up to three glasses of brei t and still drive safely.
Only 27 felt ihat absolutely no alcohol could be drunk without adverse affects.
Everyone Affected Police and medical sources answering the same question maintained that any amount of alcohol will affect any person.
“All persons are adversely af-j feeted by alcohol from the first drink on,” said Lt. Don Mann, I.APD. “The amount needed to make a person drunk will van . but any person will have his ability reduced by any drink.” Theodore J. Curt hey, county coroner, added that recent re-| search shows that much less al-
You re Dead if Car Hits Tree Going 55
Research at Cornell University into the nature of auto deaths was described in a recent issue of Motor magazine.
The results of calculations as to what happens during the “deadly tenths of the first second” when an auio cruising at 55 mph crashes into a solid tree were reported as follows:
Beginning of Ending
“In the first tenth of that fatal second, the front bumper and grill collapse.
“During the second tenth of a second, your hood crumples, rises and strikes the windshield. Spinning rear wheels rise from the ground. Fenders begin wrapping themselves around the tree. The car frame is braked effectively, but your body is still moving at 55 mph.
“Instinctively, you stiffen your legs for the jolt, but they snap at the knee joint.
“During the next tenth, your torso catapults from the seat. Broken knees ram into the dashboard The steering wheel begins to collapse, and the steering column drives toward your chest.
“In the deadlv fourth tenth of
a second, 2 ft. of the car’s front end are totally demolished, but
the rear end is still rushing on-! ward at 35 mph. Your body is still traveling at 55 mph. Half a ton of motor plunges into the tree, and the car’s rear rises as high as the tree’s lower branch-es.
“In the fifth tenth, you are impaled on the steering column. Blood spurts into your lungs.
“During the sixth tenlh, the force of impact has built up so that your feet are ripped out of tightly fastened shoes. The brake pedal shears off. the car frame buckles in the middle. Your head bangs into the windshield while the rear wheels, still spinning, fall back to earth.
Lucky Seventh
“In the seventh tenth the entire car body is distorted. Hinges rip. Doors spring open. The seat flails loose, striking you from behind, but it doesn’t matter. You're dead.
“You aren’t around to experience the final three tenths of this horrible. second. Neither are your passengers.
| “It doesn’t take long to die.”
ccjhol is needed to blunt a person's senses than previous reports indicated.
The most common and danger-I oils misconception among social I drinkers was soundly denied by students retpiuiding to the questionnaire.
Asked whether drinking strong coffee would help make a party drinker sober enough to drive, more than 90 per cent responded negatively.
Lt. Mann affirmed the student choice.
No Cure
“Nothing but time can remove the ill effects of alcohol,” he said. “It takes over an hour to get rid of one cocktail.”
All authorities were anxious to point out that alcohol is not a stimulant but a depressant.
The stopping distance required for a car traveling at 20 mph was correctly estimated by a majority of students. More students over-estimated the 40-foot distance than under-estimated it.
A car moving at 40 mph needs more than 120 ft. to stop on a dry, flat road. At 60 mph, the distance increases to 251 ft., according to the National Safety Council.
I)ist;in«-es Double
Stopping distances are more than doubled when roads are wet.
More than 56 per cent of males responding to 1he survey said they had been involved in at least one traffic accident, as opposed to only 46 per cent of the female drivers questioned.
National driving statistics show that males are involved in almost twice as many accidents as females and are involved in more than three times as many fatal accidents.
“However, the rates for males have been improving while the rates for females have been getting worse,” 1he Safety Council added.
A large majority of students who said they had been involved in traffic accidents noted that the accident resulted from a rear-end collision.
The Los Angeles Police Department explained that more than 40 per cent of freeway accidents are caused by following too closely. Unsafe lane changing accounts for an additional 21 per cent of freeway accidents, according to police reports.

Student Affair
Robinson said. “Most of us feel that the administration should not interfere with extracurricular activities as this is strictly a student affair.”
In 1958 the measure to establish songleaders was supported by a vote of 1.666 in favor to 584 pgainst in a student body election. At this time, the student body government leaders passed the bill on to the administration. and from there it was pidgeon-holed.

Ken Moes, USC varsity debater, demonstrated his versatile speaking ability this weekend when he won the Senior Sweepstakes award in the 1960 Forensic Pentathlon competition held here.
The Pentathlon, annually sponsored by USC, is a unique forensic event in which each contestant competes in five speaking events, including oral j interpretation of literature, persuasive, extemporaneous, impromptu and symposium debate.
Moes won first place medals in the senior division of all events except extemporaneous speaking. His cumulative total of first place points resulted in the sweepstakes win.
Woman Finalist
Lacy Sparks, also a member of the USC debate squad, took first place honors in the junior division of symposium debate. Tom Woods, a freshman from Loyola University, was the winner of the Junior Sweepstakes Award.
The Pentathlon, originated at USC in 1954, is the only tournament of its kind in university and college forensic competition. Annually, a limited number of California schools are invited to send delegates. While never over 25 in number, the contestants, because of their necessary versatility, offer first class competition.
Moes, a junior in pre-law’, is currently in his second year on the USC varsity debate squad. As a junior varsity member in his freshman year, Moes won first place in extemporaneous and impromptu speaking events at the Western States Tournament. This was in addition to being a member of the first place debate team in the junior division.
Prep Star
This year he has participated as a varsity member in the El Camino College practice tournament and the Western States Tournament held in Corvallis, Ore., Nov. 21-23. In the latter contest, Moes and his debate partner. Neil Taylor, reached the finals in debate competition.
Moes also won third place in extemporaneous speaking.
Moes was a leading high school j debater in 1957 and 1958 while a student in Watertown. S.D.
Directors of the 1980 Pentathlon were Frederick Williams, | a graduate student in communi- j cation, and John Fraser, a former varsity debater and now graduate student in speech.
Other schools entering contestants in the junior and senior divisions of the Pentathlon included Claremont, El Camino College, Long Beach State College, Loyola, Occidental College, j San Fernando Valley State Col- 1 lege and the University of Cali- j fornia at Santa Barbara.
World Affairs Institute speaker declared.
Cohen contended that the challenges were political, not legal. “They deal with dynamics of j power and interests that are | evaluated by leaders and peo-j pies in the context of their own | culture, history and geography,” he said.
“There are even irritating issues between Canada and the,

The United States is experiencing the most critical competition of its existence in the severe challenge pressed by the rising economies of foreign nations, a noted economist said yesterday.
Dr. Herbert V. Prochnow. executive vice president and director of the First National Bank of Chicago, told a faculty seminar gathered in Bovvne Hall that the U. S. must make a decision between several methods in the competition with other countries.
Explains Competition
In his speech, “Economic Aspects of Our Foreign Policy,” Dr. Prochnow explained that the competition which America faces is not necessarily coming from alien nations.
“Our struggle for economic supremacy is not with Communist nations but with our own friends,” he warned. “These nations need to sell their goods on J
the world market so that their people may survive.”
Dr. Prochnow, who has authored many books, stated that the U. S. has begun to lose export markets because of the pressure placed op foreign countries by other exporters.
Exports Necessary “We have become essentially a ‘have not’ nation in raw materials. and we must expand our exports to survive in our own country,” he declared.
A U. S. delegate to the Organization for European Economic Cooperations this year, Dr. Prochnow stated that we cannot hope to keep stride with Rus- i sia in either land area, raw ma- i terials or population.
Fundamentals Important “We must realize the challenge this creales for us. If we fail to analyze the fundamental economics, we may lose everything," he declared.

The Pentathlon, annually sponsored by USC, is a unique forensic event in which each contestant competes in five speaking events, including oral j interpretation of literature, persuasive, extemporaneous, impromptu and symposium debate.
Moes won first place medals in the senior division of all events except extemporaneous speaking. His cumulative total of first place points resulted in the sweepstakes win.
Woman Finalist
Lacy Sparks, also a member of the USC debate squad, took first place honors in the junior division of symposium debate. Tom Woods, a freshman from Loyola University, was the winner of the Junior Sweepstakes Award.
The Pentathlon, originated at USC in 1954, is the only tournament of its kind in university and college forensic competition. Annually, a limited number of California schools are invited to send delegates. While never over 25 in number, the contestants, because of their necessary versatility, offer first class competition.
Moes, a junior in pre-law’, is currently in his second year on the USC varsity debate squad. As a junior varsity member in his freshman year, Moes won first place in extemporaneous and impromptu speaking events at the Western States Tournament. This was in addition to being a member of the first place debate team in the junior division.
Prep Star
This year he has participated as a varsity member in the El Camino College practice tournament and the Western States Tournament held in Corvallis, Ore., Nov. 21-23. In the latter contest, Moes and his debate partner. Neil Taylor, reached the finals in debate competition.
Moes also won third place in extemporaneous speaking.
Moes was a leading high school j debater in 1957 and 1958 while a student in Watertown. S.D.
Directors of the 1980 Pentathlon were Frederick Williams, | a graduate student in communi- j cation, and John Fraser, a former varsity debater and now graduate student in speech.
Other schools entering contestants in the junior and senior divisions of the Pentathlon included Claremont, El Camino College, Long Beach State College, Loyola, Occidental College, j San Fernando Valley State Col- 1 lege and the University of Cali- j fornia at Santa Barbara.

The United States is experiencing the most critical competition of its existence in the severe challenge pressed by the rising economies of foreign nations, a noted economist said yesterday.
Dr. Herbert V. Prochnow. executive vice president and director of the First National Bank of Chicago, told a faculty seminar gathered in Bovvne Hall that the U. S. must make a decision between several methods in the competition with other countries.
Explains Competition
In his speech, “Economic Aspects of Our Foreign Policy,” Dr. Prochnow explained that the competition which America faces is not necessarily coming from alien nations.
“Our struggle for economic supremacy is not with Communist nations but with our own friends,” he warned. “These nations need to sell their goods on J
the world market so that their people may survive.”
Dr. Prochnow, who has authored many books, stated that the U. S. has begun to lose export markets because of the pressure placed op foreign countries by other exporters.
Exports Necessary “We have become essentially a ‘have not’ nation in raw materials. and we must expand our exports to survive in our own country,” he declared.
A U. S. delegate to the Organization for European Economic Cooperations this year, Dr. Prochnow stated that we cannot hope to keep stride with Rus- i sia in either land area, raw ma- i terials or population.
Fundamentals Important “We must realize the challenge this creales for us. If we fail to analyze the fundamental economics, we may lose everything," he declared.
